HPK and Mountfield confimed! This was a huge surprise to me. Never thought that a Liiga club would participate, but apparently it's happening. Mountfield is coming back from last year and obviously HPK's first appearance in the Spengler Cup.

So far:
Davos
Team Canada
HPK
Mountfield

There was information in local media saying Dinamo Riga and Swiss national team also will participate.

I'm excited cause we're going to have Finnish participants in HPK and obviously going to root for them. Other notable figures are that Canada has been shown themselves in 4 different tournaments through the year, but this time there will be no KHL players invited (what I heard) so they have a lot of new guys to show and maybe grab a spot from the Olympic squad.

Also, Swiss NT is back and personally I'm interrsted if they decide to ice a strong team or a weaker one to test younger players, but you should be certain that Canada is once again here to win.

Mountfield (Hradec Kralove) have had a solid year so far and I'm luxuous to see what they bring on the table in much stronger group (my opinion).

Davos haven't won since 2011 which feels like ages ago! Already signed Sallinen, Morin and Lofquist for the tournament so they look dangerous to make it all the way.

Dinamo Riga, well they've been hugely miserable without no sign of better, but actually in December they've won more than lost so they are coming in streak and I bet for sure wanting to host the trophy and get even some triumph.

Its tricky to get info abot the team rosters for the Spengler this year - on offical site there are only rosters for Swiss national team,HC davos and Team Canada.Does anybody have info about other teams to share with us here?!

Dynamo Riga beats HPK in Overtime with 4:3, the Latvians took the lead three times but the Finns levelled it each time with a PP goal. In OT Miks Indrasis seals the deal with an accurate shot from the high slot with the man advantage.

Group stage is done! As expected both NT's are on a roll and would not be surprised if meeting on New Years Eve. As of clubs, hosts look like a contender and could be that, but I see that as a possibility only if both NT's play each other before the final. Dinamo Riga well, they came from far east trip and couldn't find they're feet in the first game, but saved points in OT win against HPK who sadly is icing the weakest team in the tournament and will be eliminated tomorrow. Miracle not happening. In the other QF I don't see a favorite. Altough Indrasis-Darzins could drag themselves to semis.

Wow! Davos absolutely collapsed in pieces in the 3rd and there was just one team on ice. In the first semifinal Canada did what was needed, but again both were really entertaining to watch! Sad that it will be over for a year, but let's all of us enjoy the final day as we have the NT clash coming up!

What (who) were the difference? Kevin Poulin. He didn't let anything in and it did culminate to Brunner's chance in the end. Empty net, Poulin's down, bit still he managed to get his pad in the way! So it came down to goalies and 2 easy goals against Genoni made it!
